Introduction

Cannabis sativa L. is a complex plant with an abundant number of beneficial compounds. Research to date has suggested that the plant contains more than 550 unique compounds, 140 of which have been identified and classified as phytocannabinoids.

There is so much more to the cannabis plant than just cannabinoids such as terpenes, flavonoids, and sterols. These compounds, combined with cannabinoids, have been suggested to provide the therapeutic effects associated with cannabis consumption.

Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids have drawn increasing public attention with expanding legalization and an increase in accessibility. There are three classes of cannabinoids: plant-derived cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids), endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), and synthetic cannabinoids.

Phytocannabinoids are plant-derived cannabinoids that are historically extracted from cannabis. Endocannabinoids, found in the human body, are a group of compounds that are structurally similar to the chemical compounds found in cannabis.
